In this lesson, you will learn about a consensus algorithm called Proof of Stake (PoS). While Proof of Work (PoW) is the most popular consensus mechanism among blockchains, it has some flaws like high energy consumption, centralization among miners, and low transaction throughput.

Ethereum 2.0 (hybrid PoW and PoS model)
Cardano
Peercoin
Nxt
Blackcoin
ShadowCoin
Qtum
